I Got 99 Problems, Fish is One.

Happy Friday! Yay, it's almost the weekend – which means sleeping in, no work, lazy afternoons and/or hitting up that hot yoga class. Unless you're a parent, in which case NONE OF THE ABOVE. (But it will mean plenty of pajama play time where no one bothers to get dressed until noon. Wait, that's every day).

It's Friday, but not just any Friday (Dunt dunt DUH): Today is February 1st. As a kid, I totally hated February for obvious reasons (okay, the obvious reasons are that it meant the holidays AND my birthday were over. Naturally). Now, I kind of love Febs. It's sort of a random, low-key month where I feel like I can finally buckle down and get to work on some goals (my book, this blog, finally watching one of those "critically acclaimed" "good" shows like Homeland, seeing how long we can wait to cut the curls on the back of Leo's hair before he starts looking like a wild animal).

Last year, Ethan chose February to be his very own personal "vegetarian month." He'd been wanting to go veggie for a while — as a personal challenge? To see what it was like? To give him an excuse to buy every single tofu sausage offering at Whole Foods? — and chose February because (obvi): "It's the shortest month." Now, he's at it again, only he's going to let himself eat fish, so I guess we'll call it his pescetarian month. I am not planning to limit myself to only eating fish and will still get some daily doses of my beloved oven roasted sliced deli turkey, but I do plan to try to cook a lot of fish this month, so please ping me with any good fish recipes, because for the love of God I don't know why our fish dinners are so bland (except I do, it's because I just put olive oil and lemon on the fish and nothing else because I'm LAZY).

My own "healthy" plan for February is going to include more regular Pilates classes, some yoga if I can fit it in the old schedule, and fewer carbs + more fruits and vegetables + less dessert (I'm talking about you, almond dream ice cream bar thingies).

Happy February. Go take a nap. (Oh, yeah, going to bed earlier: another February goal. That means not just getting into bed early but then staying up late watching Girls episodes, but actually closing one's eyes).

xox,
